Not all Dominicans are black….lets talk🤍

[@daniawania]

Who is gonna tell them that Dominican is not a race.

[@Kimillions]

Right! Like RACE is barely even a race 🤣

[@k.b2457]

listen to the rest... People know Dominican isn't a race BUT the Dominicans they speak of are black phenotypically. like you. and me.

[@mildredrodriguez3423]

Who's gonna tell everyone that your "race" is just them separating you by the color of your skin. You can't tell Hispanics that their ethnicity is different than their race...lol to us it's one of the same.

@@mildredrodriguez3423I understand what you’re saying-that still doesn’t make you all correct. There are only 3 races. This is science.

Well. I guess I won’t speak for all Dominicans but my ancestry says I’m black so there 😂

Dominicans are chill and not hyper focused on race like the militant US Black movement and it’s Latino surrogates. Most I’ve met identify as proudly Dominican.

Why is a damn-near Anglo-white/Hispanic woman declaring that "Dominicans are Black" [with finger quotes]? She knows we see her... right? If she was dropped in the middle of the mostly Black country of Nigeria, would she be confused for anyone in that country?!

[@ABCDEFG12163]

Your guys problem is confuse culture/nationality with race

[@SMILE0783]

Exactly, I get exhausted with the ignorance. Examples: Dominican= NATIONALITY-not your race, Latina/Latino= CULTURE-not your race Black, White, Native, Asian= RACE Hispanic, Jewish... =ETHNICITY/CULTURE We're all just mixed race people honestly, but still, a person's race is obvious for the most part.

[@cloudyskies7591]

This argument always ends up in a bait and switch. “ I no black I Dominican “ makes no sense because you can be Dominican and black or other races as well. The issue here is the hatred for black peoples causes them to SWITCH the argument to claiming that EVERY SINGLE Dominican is black and that’s a totally different argument.

[@JoseMartinez-bh1ng]

Haitians born in DR are not Dominicans. An Arrayano is a person with one Haitian and one Dominican parent, those are Dominicans with Haitian ancestry. There's no such thing as a Dominican that's Haitian

[@jwilsonYa]

And if two Haitian parents have a child in Dominican Republic. They are considered Dr citizens but get denied citizenship. FYI

[@JoseMartinez-bh1ng]

​@@jwilsonYa That's not the way Citizenship laws work in DR. Our law is Jus Sanguis which means one of your parents has to be Dominican for you to be born a Dominican citizen. Chileren of Foreigners born in DR are not Dominican. It's the law.

[@chloebrown2034]

Im puerto rican cuban and black and growing up my mother taught me that puerto rican is black. But i would often be confused on how to identify racially, hispanic/latino or black. My father who is a black man always told me to identify as black because its about my race not my ethnicity. On the other hand, whenever i encountered a dominican especially the older generations they were always defensive about associating black with Dominican and kept it as "im dominican" like its its own race. Now this vid helped me understand why @Rafael Trujillo

Trujillo has nothing to do with it. Black is consider an ethnic group in the US, African-American. Dominicans are not part of that ethnic group. It's really that simple

[@nata027]

Same goes for Puerto Ricans like that's what a lot of people don't understand being Hispanic we come in all colors and we are all equal it doesn't matter about your skin color

[@septemberterry6469]

Who cares… ethnicity is not your race. You can not create a race. This shouldn’t even be an argument. Your race is either black, white, Asian, Native American Indian, pureto ricin’s, Dominicans, etc is Not a race it is your ethnic background that’s it. You can be black and Dominican at the same time. Pureto Rican and white at the same time. It was the joining of races that made up these people on these islands. Not 1 Dominican man and 1 Dominican woman came together and created the Dominican etc people. Your ancestry is going to tell you your DNA makeup, your origin. Black is the only shade that comes in every color. Furthermore no one is white or black for that matter. It’s rediculous to associate race with color in the first place bc people of color come in every shade and hue of Brown. Africans created every race of people thru Adam and Eve. Color comes from melanin in your skin, the lack of melanin or bone at all gives you pale skin. No protection from the sun ☀️ at all. This is why a darker skin person can scrape themselves and the skin comes off and underneath it’s white. A white person can scrape themselves and the skin comes off underneath is red. They have no layer of melanin as a added barrier of protection. Melanin is a Blessing by the creator. People need to wake up from the brainwashing and understand reality and not the false history that has been taught and perpetuated over time. Melanin is aGift from God to his Chosen people!!!

[@amandaadzima1764]

I’m half Eastern European and half Dominican so never had to discuss race so much because I look more white side then my Hispanic side most Dominicans say I’m to light to be half Dominican they think I’m Half White and Half Rican makes no sense to me stupidest conversation yet too talk about race 😴😴😒😒

Dominican is an nationality

[@JoseMartinez-bh1ng]

It's an ethnicity too. A Puerto Rican born in DR to 2 Puerto Rican parents isn't Dominican or born a Dominican a Citizen by DR law. Foreigners can apply for Dominican Citizenship but it wouldn't ethnically make you Dominican. Hope that made sense

[@yudelkaanziani2478]

Leave us alone - we have our own culture, and it has 1000x more direct African influence than yours. We are not anything else but Dominican

[@M-atk]

What did BAs have to do with this? All the people in the video were latino. There should be reasearchers studying how anti-blck the ‘POC’ get specifically towards BAs. nobody cares that y'all have more AFRICAN influence. y'all had a longer period of slavery, on a small island- that should go without saying🙄. The real question is why do mixed people use slavery as a trauma bond to blck people? Equating your “blackness” to African food and music while trying to “stick it” to BAs is weirdo behavior cus DR and Haiti still beefing without BAs “racįal lectures”

[@donzestell]

I just know that dude who killed the Haitians didn't know he was killing God's people & is somewhere wishing he hadn't done that in no air conditioning.

[@JoseMartinez-bh1ng]

The reason for killing Haitians was due to DR ceding Haiti 6200 Square Kilometers of territory in 1936. By 1937 Trujillo had made a decree for Haitians to leave DR which they refused to do and on the contrary tried to migrate deeper into DR. Trujillo did what he had to do to protect our Sovereignty
